Shape People
in Numeracy
Distinguishing and naming different shapes. Recognising and adding single-digit numbers.
Step-by-step instructions for other teachers
Have children draw a set of 5-10 2 “shape people” made up of different coloured shapes such as a square head, triangle body and circular hands.
Choose one shape person to show to everyone. Tell the children that the picture will be hidden, and they need to remember what they saw. Give them a minute to study the picture.
Hide the picture. Ask them questions about the picture. For example. how many squares did you see? Or how many red triangles did you see.
Show the picture to the children and count together to find the correct solution.
Repeat as often as you like with the same image (ask different questions) or a new image.
